Cengage Learning, a multinational education content producer, told 75 of its tech workers in October they would be out of their jobs in January, reported Computer World. In the meantime they’re training their foreign replacements, and if Cengage finds out they’re talking to the media they’ll lose their severance pay.
“I was so furious,” one of the laid off workers told Computer World.
Those laid off are now being shadowed and recorded for training purposes by their replacements working for the contractor, Cognizant, which appear to be foreigners on work visas. Cognizant is a top user of the H-1B visa, according to government data cited by Computer World, although the laid off workers did not know whether their replacements were on H-1B visas.

Just one more of a growing list of strategies being used in Obama's most heinous domestic threat... that we have heard about
Commonly known as an invasion.
Dam, if I would train someone else for my job after being told I would loss my job. Dam that.
No choice.
You always have a choice.
This is why we still have unions
Don't you love how they intimidate by threatening the loss of severance pay if you don't go along with the plan or complain to the media about your treatment. It's a potent threat considering many people will probably need the severance plus unemployment to tide them over until you can find another job.
7:01 don't you mean IF you can find another job. And you can bet it won't pay as much! The H-1B program was never needed. Just another way for corporations to increase their profits at the cost of their workers.
5:38 unions routinely sell out their patrons as if a donation to a politico will buy them a spot in the bunker
on notice. i will never train someone to take my job. how stupid is this. just leave.
